HT6104 safari is corrupt

safari is corrupt it bombs when i open it.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Safari.exe - corrupt file

After I open safari I keep getting a message that says:
Safari.exe - Corrupt File This file or directory C:\Documents and settings\Owner\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\LastSession.plist is corrupt and unreadable. Please rune the Chkdsk utility.
When I click on the message it goes away but will comeback a few seconds later. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Safari.exe - Corrupt File This file or directory C:\Documents and settings\Owner\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\LastSession.plist is corrupt and unreadable.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does Safari launch for you again?

Safari History Corrupted

Here's the problem: I've already loaded Safari with bookmarks, so I've been using my browser history as a substitute to keep track of sites. Now, the history is gone. Specifically, the "History.plist" file in ~/Library/Safari is corrupted and crashes nearly any application that tries to open it.
Open Safari without removing its corrupted History.plist file, and Safari quits with error message. Try to import Safari's history into Firefox, and Firefox quits with error message. Try to import Safari's history into a modified version of Firefox called Flock, and Flock becomes unresponsive. Attempting to open the History.plist file with TextEdit, or with Bare Bones Software's TextWrangler causes both of those to quit with error message and/or "Crash Reporter" warning.
So far, the only application I've found that can actually process the corrupted History.plist file is Microsoft Word, which can, after selected the "recover text from any file" option, return a bunch of gobbledygook which contains many if not all of my precious URLs, floating in a sea of garbage.
Is there any way I can convert that gobbledygook into a valid preferences file that Safari can handle without manually copying and reentering every single URL?
Apple Care won't help me because the computer's long since out of warranty; I'm using Safari 4.1.1 on OSX 10.4 Tiger, on a G4 eMac. The Genius Bar might be able to help if I bring the computer in, but I'm trying to avoid bringing in my machine in light of the eMac's rather tremendous shipping weight.
PS— The version of TextEdit on my laptop can open the corrupted History.plist file, and returns much the same gobbledygook as Microsoft Word. I'm not sure what version that is or what the difference is; the laptop is a 2008 MacBook running OSX 10.5 Leopard on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

HI,
because PlistEditPro isn't registered, but it's not very helpful either.
If it's not helpful, delete PlistEditPro from your Mac. Third party preference file utilities on a Mac aren't necessary. Save yourself any further headaches.

Safari graphical corruption when scrolling

Safari is showing some strange graphical corruption on an IBM documentation site when I try to scroll. For example, if I scroll down in the upper right-hand frame, it looks like the image below. Slow scrolling causes worse corruption, fast scrolling less:
I see this using the latest Safari (5.1) on a 2011 MBP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and on two 2009 iMacs with Lion 10.7.0. Switching to another tab and coming back corrects the problem, and sometimes bringing another window in front and then going back to Safari does the same. This suggests that the problem is probably within Safari or OS X rather than in the web page itself.
Does anybody else see this problem? Thanks!

I see what you are talking about.
I tried on one Mac running Lion / Safari 5.1 and on a Mac running Snow Leopard / Safari 5.1. No difference, same graphics glitch.
I tried the site on Firefox and it rendered as it should so I think you are correct in assuming it's a Safari issue not the webpage itself.

Safari 8 corrupted graphics display

Hi -
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
To date it has been very reliable but since I have upgraded to Yosemite I am getting blocks of corrupted graphics in safari when browsing the web. I can temprarily cure this by exiting from Safari and or clearing the history.
I have reset the pram and via Apple online help re set Safari back to factory defaults. I have also performed a clean install twice.
I only seem to get the problem in Safari, not for example in Aperture or Photoshop which I presume uses more graphic power. I have also run a couple of online graphics benchmark tests succesfully. I can also use Chrome to browse websites without a problem.
There are other posts on here with users experiencing a similar problem but no resolutions.
Is this a glitch in Safari / Yosemite or a possible sign of the on board graphics failure in the the late 2011 MBP ?

HT6104 Safari Quit Unexpectedly Error.

All of a sudden my safari stoped openning, gives me error Safari Quit Unexpectedly with long list of some codes. When I enter under Guest User's account Safari works just fine.
I reinstalled the OS X, stil the same problem.
I am using Opera currently. How to fix this problem?

Most likely a Safari extension or third party plug-ins causing Safari to crash.

Safari appearance corrupt

Hello,
Some years ago, I tried some Safari theme extension or other. The extension, of course, was removed in one of the Safari updates as being unsupported. I cannot remember which add-on it was, though it could have been related to SIMBL/SafariStand.
However, my copy of Safari retains artifacts of the old "theme", and they never go away, despite several full Safari/OS updates and even a new laptop.
For example, this around the current title bar;
I also see other traces of the old theme when Safari windows lose their focus, but the title bar is most annoying.
I am assuming there are files outside the Application package itself that are causing this.
I have tried removing the SIMBL folder under Application Support, but nothing changes.
How can I find and delete whatever files are causing this mess?
Thanks.

Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Application Support/SIMBL
InputManagers/SIMBL
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

Safari Is Corrupted

I think the photo explains it all. This happens on all websites including this one, making them inpossible to visit. I have tried deleteing everything Safari and then redownloading and installing fresh and the same thing happens. What can I do to fix this? Thanks
Snow Leopard with all updates running on 2.4GHZ Black MB, 4GB Ram. Emptying cache does nothing.

None of this has helped, disable styles/images was not selected. I selected them and deselected them to be sure. I also have no extensions. I just use Safari as is. I don't want to think about reinstalling OSX as I have Bootcamp with Windows on a partition.

Hi
very possibly - your Safari has stopped using 'styles', which will lead to a display just as you show.
If you see the Safari Develop menu next to Bookmarks, see if the 'Disable Styles' option is selected, de-select it if so.
If the Develop menu isn't there, enable it in Safari-Preferences-Advanced, then check the setting.
If it doesn't seem to be that, do toggle the setting on/off.
Otherwise - you've no Safari extensions enabled ?

Safari is corrupted by MacKeeper

I am very frustrated with Safari. I got MacKeeper ad page (I don't know how) in Safari few days ago and now, each time I load a legitimate site, I get a page with advertising. I had to delete the page to get to the site that I wanted. I had to delete several Ad pages just to get here in this page. I have Adblock (which was working fine until few days), my settings are to block popup windows. I have deleted everything related to MacKeeper), I have reset Safari but nothing works.
I am quit sure that is a common problem that usera have experienced. Could somebody help me with this extremely frustrating problem? Thanks.

To avoid the problem in the first place, stop doing what you just did: downloading unknown, unnecessary software on the advice of a stranger on the Internet. That approach is not going to save you if you keep up the same behavior.

HT6104 Safari acting strange multi add pages open when I click a browser link.

Click a browser link and get the page I wanted as well as one or two additional add type pages. Also the preferences general page keeps switching from how I want new windows and tabs to open as well as how I set the homepage.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones.

Safari 3.2.1 With 10.5.6 Update = Corrupt Font Display

Since updating to 10.5.6, Safari is corrupting the display of certain small fonts, such as the "Compose" and "Preview" tab labels at the top of this Discussion "New Topic" window, and mail subjects in Yahoo web mail. The problem is more severe with small bold fonts. I have OS X's font smoothing turned off for font sizes smaller than 12 pt, and use the CRT smoothing style, as I prefer little to no font smoothing on my LCD monitor.
I've reset Safari, corrected duplicate fonts, validated all fonts, run DiskWarrior, FontNuke to clear all font caches, and even reinstalled the 10.5.6 combo updater; nothing has helped. If I make the font one size smaller, the corruption is mostly corrected. OmniWeb 5.8 has the same issue as Safari under 10.5.6; FireFox 3.0.5 & Camino 1.6.6 are unaffected, and render fonts as well under 10.5.6 as they did under 10.5.5.
I've booted my 10.5.5 backup to verify that Safari 3.2.1 and OmniWeb 5.8 had no font display issues before the 10.5.6 update. The 10.5.6 update was the only software change made on my system since the 10.5.5 backup I used for comparison.
Anyone else seeing strange font display in Safari under 10.5.6? I think you'd have to minimize OS X font smoothing as described above for the problem to become visible. I'm out of possible solutions, other than hoping for a fix in 10.5.7.

Well, for the time being, I'm just going keep 10.5.6, and use revised font smoothing settings: "Automatic" style, and "turned off" for font sizes 10 pt and smaller. The reason is that I did a little more investigating, and found that the distorted small font issue affects the entire system, including the Finder, not just Safari.
I checked my G4 MDD that's running 10.4.11 on two 23" monitors (1920x1200), and it has the same issue as my G5 running 10.5.6, if font smoothing is turned off. So, this is apparently a long standing OS X issue that, for some reason, never affected my lower resolution G5 system driving a 20" monitor (1680x1050) until the 10.5.6 update was installed.

Failed Mavericks download corrupts Safari

Trying to update to Mavericks (from Mountain Lion 10.8.5) failed due to low bandwith.
In the process, Safari got corrupted (shows as "not-responding").
Any way to get Safari working again (under OsX 10.8.5)?

Low bandwidth?
The issue is that you need to restore OS X using OS X Recovery and that requires a high speed broandband connection.
How did you download Mountain Lion? That was a 4.35GB file.
